Five Palestinians, including four children and a woman, have been killed after a sand dune collapsed onto tents sheltering displaced families in central Gaza, local correspondent for Al Jazeera reports. Other reports indicate six people injured and hospitalized in critical condition. Israel has destroyed their homes, forced them into makeshift camps and continues to restrict the entry of shelter materials and rescue machinery. For the fourth consecutive winter, Palestinian children are dying in conditions Israel has imposed, while President Trump’s so-called @BoardOfPeace fails to secure even the most basic entry of aid and protections for civilians. Palestinian aid organizers tell Drop Site that this is the entirely foreseeable, repeatedly forewarned consequence of Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the failure of those claiming to oversee the ceasefire and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.

At least three children have been killed in Gaza in the past 24 hours as heavy rains and bitter cold batter displaced families in makeshift tents. For the fourth consecutive winter, Palestinians are being denied adequate shelter as Israel continues to block the entry of tents, mobile homes and other essential materials, with President Trump’s @BoardOfPeace failing to press for their delivery despite trucks waiting at Gaza’s borders.
